Very stiff and ultralight

I own four of these paddles and that says pretty much everything about their quality and my degree of satisfaction. The ferrules are hexagonal and impossible to misalign when putting the pieces together or twist during paddling. The paddle is light enough that even my seven year old boy can use it but also very stiff due to the high grade carbon. I also like the colour and the simplicity of the graphic design, but this is only a personal preference. Highly recommended.

Very nice paddle over the stock paddle that came with my Blackwater board. Very happy with my purchase.

Light, super stiff, no play in the joints, enough grip not to slip, but not so much it rubs at your skin, and the carrying case is awesome. It has 3 compartments so none of the pieces rub against each other, which is a great touch. Price wise I probably would have gone with the Hydrus, but this one came with free shipping to Canada which made them almost even. That sealed the deal for me.

Great lightweight paddle

This paddle is a must have if you're looking for a sturdy, lightweight SUP paddle.
You can paddle hard and know that the paddle will withstand the force. Being as lightweight as it is, it really makes a difference when you're out on your board for hours.

Lightweight easy handling

This paddle for my SUP is quite simply amazing.
Its light wight, very quick 3 piece assembly, extremely sturdy and you can really paddle hard and know that it will withstand the force.

Couldn't see myself going back to anything else.

I'm going to be looking to get my wife one as well.

Paddle was perfect!

I got to use the Honu paddle for the first time yesterday. It is light and sturdy. I like how they designed it. I have a perfect grip wit it and 3 parts connected paddle does not loosen while being used and does the job in getting power from the water. Great Job Honu!

Honu Evolution Paddle

It's very elegant, far exceeds my expectations build wise. The purchase experience was very unique, the price was the price, shipping, taxes/duty all included in the Cart price. Here in Canada we expect "surprises" when things are shipped to us, no surprises! Thank you so much Honu crew!


The Evolution Carbon paddle is a versatile paddle combining skilled craftsmanship, premium materials, and performance. The modern blade shape combines the control and predictability of a tear-drop-shaped paddle with the power generated by a square blade and now includes our precision Hex joint system that replaces the lower clamp.

The double dihedral blade profile is built around a high density PVC core, which creates this paddle's source of power and control. The dihedral shape on the back-side makes every blade stroke smooth and controlled without any feathering through the water—an essential feature for beginners and expert paddlers alike. The second dihedral profile on the front side provides the blades rigidity and transfers every ounce of power from the paddler to forward motion.

From our Evolution series, the Evolution Carbon paddle is constructed using aerospace grade pre-impregnated 12K carbon with a matte finish. This means that the carbon sheets include the perfect amount of resin, which is hand-pressed into the mold and cured under pressure and heat in an autoclave. This industry-leading process produces carbon structures that are ~30% lighter and stronger than standard carbon alternatives.
